I had a bottle of this back in the day when it was NOM 1440 and I didn't like it at all. Now that it's years later and has a new NOM, I figured I'd give it a try again.
Aroma: Earthy agave with hints of grass and smoke.
Initial Taste: Decent agave entry with nice hints of grass and citrus.
Body: Medium-light body. Flavors are consistent throughout and it has a nice mix of agave, vegetal and pepper flavors.
Finish: Light on the finish for a blanco. It's decent, but it doesn't last very long and the agave spice is muted.
All in all, this is a good but not great blanco. It's certainly better than the 1440 expression was from years ago. The flavors are light and pleasant, but it's doesn't stick out as exceptional. With that said, this can be found for $20 or under in some places. For that price, this is a very good blanco that would be versatile for many purposes. Corazon also does a very nice job with the presentation. If you are in need of something basic and value oriented, this is a decent choice.
